No. 3,737,990 to Schut, both assigned to The Boeing Company, in that induction heating coils are utilized to provide an induction heat source rather than utilization to provide high-strength magnetic force fields to impart physical energy.
- EMR electromagtic riveting
- the present induction heater coil assembly is shown in perspective in FIG. 1 to help provide a general over-view of several important features thereof.
- the present coil assembly 10 includes insulatively wrapped copper windings 11.
- the insulative wrapping step of copper windings 11 will be hereinafter described in more detail in connection with the method of making the coil assembly; however, it should be noted here that the insulating wrapping consists of a polyimide tape 15 having double-sided fluoroplastic resin coatings.
- a double-sided fluoroplastic resin coated polyimide tape called FEP-Teflon Coated Kapton Tape is manufactured by the E. I. Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del. with nomenclature number 200F919. Also in FIG.
- FIG. 1 shown on the front or face surface which is the working surface of coil assembly 10 is a fused non-stick face sheet 12 which will not adhere to hot melt fasteners.
- Face sheet 12 may comprise a 0.032-inch thick fluoroplastic resin material also known as TFE-Teflon which is a fluorinated ethylene propylene material manufactured by the E. I. Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.
- Coil assembly 10 in FIG. 1 is also seen to include a solid one-piece cooling fin 13 of predetermined length interleaved among insulatively wrapped copper windings 11.
- An inner high temperature brazed terminal lead 14 is also seen connected between coil assembly 10 via the windings 11 to an outer coil terminal 17.
- a number 12 bare copper wire having a length of one and one-half inches as shown at 14 in FIG. 2 is brazed to the inside end of an 0.010 ⁇ 0.375 ⁇ 90 ETP (electrical tough pitch) grade copper strip 16 using 800° F. silver solder (such as manufactured by the Handy/Harmon Company).
- ETP electrical tough pitch
- inner lead 14 and copper strap 16 are cleaned with MEK (a methyl-ethyl-ketone cleaner), and then abraded with an abrasive pad, e.g., Scotchbrite as manufactured by the 3M Company, to remove all burrs and oxidation.
- MEK a methyl-ethyl-ketone cleaner
- Copper strap 16 is then ready to be spirally wrapped with FEP-Teflon (a fluoroplastic resin, more specifically perfluoroalkoxyethylene) coated Kapton polyimide tape 15 (identified as number 200F919 and manufactured by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.).
- FEP-Teflon a fluoroplastic resin, more specifically perfluoroalkoxyethylene coated Kapton polyimide tape 15 (identified as number 200F919 and manufactured by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.
- tape 15 is spirally wrapped about copper strap 16 with an overlap of between about 40 to 50 percent.
- Inner terminal lead 14 is now inserted into a 3/8 diameter coil winding mandrel (not shown), and five clockwise turns are made under tension with tape 15 covered copper strap 16.
- cooling fin 13 as shown in FIG. 3, which cooling fin 13 has been previously cleaned and abraded, is interleaved as shown in FIG.
- Male terminal leads 17 (identified as Part No. 48-1871-02, manufactured by Amphenol-North American, Oak Brook, Ill.) are then soldered to the end of copper strap 16 and to the inner terminal lead 14, respectively, utilizing the aforementioned type 800° F. silver solder.
- the clamp restraining ring which holds the coil together (not shown) is then removed, and the outer periphery of the coil is taped with pressure sensitive tape 18 (such as Kapton-100H manufactured by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.).
- pressure sensitive tape 18 such as Kapton-100H manufactured by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.
- a pair of terminal wedges 19 (only one shown in FIG.
- insulation sheet 20 comprised of one layer of FEP-Kapton film (type number 300F929, manufactured by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.) is then applied to both front and back coil faces, followed by application of face sheet 12 (as seen in FIG. 7), face sheet 12 being a 0.032-inch thick sheet of TFE-Teflon material, a fluoroplastic resin known more specifically as perfluoroalkoxyethylene, and manufactured by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.
- FEP-Kapton film type number 300F929, manufactured by the Du Pont Company of Wilmington, Del.
- Coil body 10 and coil clamp block 41 are then inserted on fusing fixture base plate 42, with coil face sheet 12 centered in the recess.
- the following steps in the fabrication process are then taken, (1) insert 45 is placed over inner terminal lead 17, and behind cooling fins 13, (2) insert sub-plate 43 is positioned over insert 45, (3) upper clamp block 44 is positioned over insert subplate 43, (4) then all plates are bolted through utilizing an application of approximately 40-inch pounds torque.
- Coil fusing fixture 40 is pre-coated with a parting agent, e.g., Fre-Kote, that will not affect the quality of fusing and bond strength of the heating coil 10 (a parting agent manufactured by the Fre-Kote Manufacturing Company of Boca Raton, Fla.).
- a parting agent e.g., Fre-Kote
- Coil assembly 10 now fixtured in coil fusing fixture 40, is then inserted into a vacuum furnace with coil face down, evacuation is done to a minimum of about 26 to 29 inches Hg., whereupon heat is then applied to a temperature of 650° F. ⁇ 25° F. for about 30 minutes, and subsequently the temperature is raised to 700° F. ⁇ 25° F. for about 30 minutes causing fusing and melting of FEP/TFE resins, while at the same time burning off impurities which would adversely affect bond strength; whereupon first cooling is done to 225° F. in an inert atmosphere to solidify FEP/TFE resins thereby protecting against contamination of all components before the fluorocarbon resins have solidified (argon or helium purge preferred).
- Coil assembly 10 and coil fusing fixture 40 (the assembled coil fusing fixture as shown in FIG. 9) are then removed from the furnace and cooled in atmosphere to room temperature. Coil fixture 40 is then disassembled and coil fusing assembly 10 removed. Excess material flash on the outer edges of face sheet 12 are then trimmed net, thereby completing the fabrication process.
